Where does the Services for Object (GOS) store data?

I have a requirement that I need to upload a Blocking Reason document for any blocked vendor.
The normal process we follow for blocking is XK02->Extras-> Blocked Data or XK05.
We want to check before the Vendor is saved with blocked data whether he/she (who is blocking the vendor) has uploaded the Blocking Reason Document .
I found out that we have an option in Vendor screen for uploading a document under 'Services for Object' in XK02 as shown in the below (in the red box).
After uploading the attachment it will show the uploaded document in the Attachment List as shown below.
I don't know where this entry is stored. I checked in the table SOOD (SAPoffice: Object definition), but there is no entry in there.
I would like to know on how to check whether the file has been uploaded at the time of saving the vendor.
If anyone knows the table in which this data is stored, kindly point it out.
Thank You,
Sreejith Babu.

Services for Object (GOS) Attachement List not showing after attachment

Hi All,
I have created a new entry for the Generic Object Service List and this links to a copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE class (Create attachment) with some additional logic. However, after attaching a file, the "Attachment List" does not become available until after I re-enter the transaction. The attachment list is showing the correct attachments.
After some (understatement...) investigation, I found that even if I try and link the new service to a unchanged copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE service in SGOSATTR, it is not working. It is attaching fine, but the "Attachment List" entry in the Services for Object Menu is still greyed out. If I attach the original class CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE to the newly created entry it works fine. e.g. straight after I attach a file to the transaction, the menu entry becomes available.
I can't find where the re-draw of the GOS menu happens and hence can not determine what is going wrong. Does anybody know if this is part of the Kernel or is this actually done in ABAP ?
Am I missing something ? Debugging including system debugging for two days now and can't find it... very frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wouter.

Hi Wouter,
I had originally posted to ask if you had resolved this since I was facing the same issue, but then deleted my post when I was able to get it working. Sorry, I didn't mean to initiate a flurry of activity in such an old thread.
My scenario is I created a new GOS service entry in table SGOSATTR using transaction SGOSM. My new service uploads attachments to an external document management system via a call to a RESTful web service. The class I use in the SGOSM entry is a custom subclass of CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE.
I resolved this issue by taking a look at what CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE does in its EXECUTE method. The key bits to refresh the GOS Attachment List with the new attachment are...
raise event commit_required. " if SGOSM has the commit flag checked
raise event service_succeeded
       exporting eo_service = me.
These events tell any subscribers to go do their thing-- which in this case includes a refresh of the GOS Attachment List. So in the EXECUTE method of my custom subclass, after I call function BINARY_RELATION_CREATE, I raise these events...
CALL FUNCTION 'BINARY_RELATION_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
       obj_rolea     = gs_object
       obj_roleb    = rel_doc
       relationtype = 'URL'
   EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS       = 1.
CASE sy-subrc.
   WHEN 0.
       MESSAGE s043(sgos_msg). " The attachment was successfully created
       RAISE EVENT commit_required.
       RAISE EVENT service_succeeded
             EXPORTING eo_service = me.
   WHEN OTHERS.
       MESSAGE s042(sgos_msg). " The attachment has not been created
ENDCASE.
I hope this is helpful to you even though your initial implementation was a while back. Thanks for replying to my question though!!
Cheers,
Amy

Service for Object - GOS

Hello all,
My client is wanting to use Services for Objects (GOS) to store comments about documents, notifications, etc. One disadvantage of GOS is there is no visible way to tell if an attachment has been made. I have been told there was an enhancement to the GOS that if an attachment is made to the GOS, the Icon would change color (or something visible) to indicate there is an attachment. Can anyone help me with this? I have searched OSS Notes but no luck so far.
This site is running SAP version 710 Patch level 6.
Thanks,
Bill

I know this is an old post but for reference, this is what we currently do.
implement badi gos_srv_select, in method select_services
(code snippet)
zstat = cl_gos_attachment_query=>count_for_object( is_object = is_lpor
                                                     ip_url = ' '
                                                     ip_arl = 'X'
                                                     ip_private = ' ' ).
describe table zstat lines znum.
if znum > 0.
    message s888(sabapdocu) with 'At least one note or attachment exists'.
endif.
I'm sure there are many other ways, this works good enough for us.

How to disable the Services for Object in IW32?

Hi Experts,
May i know how to deactivate the create and delete attachment option if the status of the order in IW32 is already TECO? Please help

I have found my own answer. If your user type is setup as 'Service', you will not be have the "Services for Object" icon on IQS23. If you need the icon to perform the that service, you must change the user type to Dialog from Logon Data.

How to add the "Services for Object" icon/functionality.

Dear all.
I have seen in some SAP standard transactions a button named "Services for Object" in the title bar of the screen. An example is in transaction MM03. The button is to the left of the title "Display Material xxxx".
Does anyone know how I could incorporate such functionality in my own program.
Thanks
Lande.

Hi,
You need to use GOS for this.
1. Create a Generic object thru transaction SW01.
then call the following method in the PBO
module call_gos_attachment output.
if sy-tcode eq c_yatt2 .
      i_borident-objtype = 'YASTATTA'.
      i_borident-objkey = yatt-number.
      create object gos_manager
        exporting
           is_object            = i_borident
           it_service_selection = i_services
           ip_no_commit         = ' '
        exceptions
           object_invalid       = 1.
endif.
if sy-tcode eq c_yatt3.
      i_borident-objtype = 'YASTATTA'.
      i_borident-objkey = yatt-number.
      create object gos_manager
        exporting
           is_object            = i_borident
           it_service_selection = i_services
           ip_mode              = 'D'
        exceptions
           object_invalid       = 1.

I was picking that up from your error message
..jsp_servlet\__savename.java:17: package com.company.project.ejb does not exist import com.company.project.ejb.UserData; //[ /SaveName.jsp; Line: 1]
The folder structure needs to mirror the package structure exactly (standard java)
So yes, If you have a com.company.project.ejb package with a class UserData within it
"UserData.class" needs to be in folder "WEB-INF/classes/com/project/ejb/"
If you don't have that class, then check your import statement - its asking for it.
Good luck,

Where does the jar for a custom tag libary need to go?

I am having trouble getting a custom tag library's classes found. These are located
in a jar file called blazix.jar.
I have the following GetName.jsp:

When I run this, I get the following:

The jar does contain the needed class (desisoft.jsp.tagext.SetProp), but how can
I tell WebLogic where to find it?
In other words, what directory does the blazix.jar need to go under? I tried
adding it to my classpath but that did not help.
Thanks!

I got it. Just needed to add my own lib directory under WEB-INF and copy the jar
to it.
Question though, why wouldn't this get generated for me? Would think it would
be a common thing to need.

I placed the blx.tld file under the WEB-INF directory. It seems to find

there at least.

Where does the class for useBean go?

I'm having trouble in jsp when I try to do a useBean. WebLogic can't seem to find my class. Where should the bean that I am trying to use go, and how should I refer to it in the .jsp file that needs to use it? Do I need to import the bean class?
I have the following structure:
proj_home
'-->all .jsp and html files
'---->Classes
'------->com
'----------->company
'-------------->project
'----------------->all class files for the project
'---->src
'------->com
'----------->company
'-------------->project
'--------------->all source files for the project
'---->WEB-INF
Currently the bean is named UserData. It is in package com.company.project.
I tried placing the UserData.class file everywhere I could think of but that didn't help.
I then tried to import it into the bean that uses it like this:
<jsp:directive.page import="com.company.project.UserData"/>
But that gives me errors saying this:
...jsp_servlet\__savename.java:17: package com.company.project.ejb does not exist import com.company.project.ejb.UserData; //[ /SaveName.jsp; Line: 1]
Well it does exist, but under the CLASSES directory.
HELP!

I was picking that up from your error message
..jsp_servlet\__savename.java:17: package com.company.project.ejb does not exist import com.company.project.ejb.UserData; //[ /SaveName.jsp; Line: 1]
The folder structure needs to mirror the package structure exactly (standard java)
So yes, If you have a com.company.project.ejb package with a class UserData within it
"UserData.class" needs to be in folder "WEB-INF/classes/com/project/ejb/"
If you don't have that class, then check your import statement - its asking for it.
Good luck,

Automating the services for object for a work order

Hi All,
Can anyone post an ABAP code using which we can automate the process of creating a note for a Work order at the time of saving the work order. I need to create a note with the work order at the time of saving it. This note needs to be attached automatically. Can anyone help me with the code to do this?

Uhm... If you want us to do your job, how much are you willing to pay?
How is the note "attached"? If it's an attachment using GOS then the code has already been posted on SDN - look it up. You'll need to add it to the work order creation (I'm guessing there should be some kind of BAPI or FM).

My workflow is not listed in the GOS (Services for object)

Hello Experts,
I developed a workflow and linked the BO ZBUS2081. This is sub type of standard BO BUS2081. I am using the custom event INVOICEBLOCKED to trigger the workflow. The workflow is triggered propely when the invoce is created (with block) thru MIRO and I can see the workflow in SWEL or SWI6 or SWI14.
But, the workflow is not listed in the services for objects button of the invoice display using MIR4.
If I use the standard event 'BLOCKEDQUANT' as starting event, the workflow is triggered and I can view it in services for object.
In the table SWW_WI2OBJ has all entries about the workflow triggered using standard event or custom event.
How can I make the services for object in invoice list my workflow that was triggered using custom evet?
Appreciate your help.

Display GOS without click on 'Service for Object' button

Please try the following step to figure out.
1) VA03
2) At header of report (on the left hand side of 'Display S/O SysB SDI xxxxxxxxx:Overview' ) has a button called 'Services for Object' (GOS)
3) Click on that then it will popup icon menu set. <--- Want this to be displayed when access VA03 by no need to click the button in 2)
My requirement is I want this popup to be displayed suddenly after I access VA03 (no need to click on the Services for Object button anymore).
<b>
Could you please provide me any solution, function, example, similar case, etc. (based on 4.6c)?</b>
Thank you all expert in advance.. I'll be here to provide you more information that need.

I found the solution yet. Let me drop a note to be a memorandum.
(1) Insert code into the last line of form <u>USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT</u> within report <u>MV45AFZZ</u>
PERFORM UNITEXIT_READ_DOCUMENT.
<b>*{   INSERT
*[Display Attachment Service Automatically]
    DATA: lo_myobject TYPE REF TO cl_gos_manager,
          lo_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container,
          ls_object    TYPE borident. "BOR Identifier
      ls_object-objkey = vbak-vbeln.
      ls_object-objtype = 'BUS2032'.
      CREATE OBJECT lo_myobject.
      CALL METHOD lo_myobject->start_service_direct
                  EXPORTING ip_service   = 'VIEW_ATTA'
                            is_object    = ls_object
                            io_container = lo_container
                  EXCEPTIONS OTHERS          = 2.
*[Display Toolbox]
    CALL METHOD lo_myobject->DISPLAY_TOOLBOX
                EXPORTING is_object       = ls_object
                           io_container    = lo_container
                EXCEPTIONS OTHERS          = 2.
*}   INSERT</b>
ENDFORM.
(2) Try open VA03 and insert attachment at Service for Object.
(3) Reopen VA03, attachment list displayed suddenly.

Services for Object - Store Business Documents (issue with XLSX files)

Hi,
We are using the Services for Object > Store Business Document to be able to drag and drop files into (for example) Sales Inquiry, Sales Order, Sales Quotations etc.
Within OAC2 we have set up the global document types and these have been linked to the relevant Object Types and Content Repositories in OAC3. We have also set up the Content Repository as Document Area 'ARCHLINK'.
The ArhciveLink Basic Settings in OAG1 have the 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' set under Storage Settings.
The issue we are having is with XLSX document types. When we drag and drop the XLSX documen type using the Store Business Document the file is stored against the Sales Order but when you come to view the attachments MS Excel opens but an error message appears saying 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
We have reviewed SAP notes 1925897, 1739026 and 1145885 however non appear to give me a clear answer as to why this is happening?
I have found that if we unselect the option 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' in OAG1 then we can open the XLSX files.
As we have a significant amount of documents attached to various objects, what would be the implications of making this change agianst existing records and new records?
Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,
No joy I'm afraid!!
I added entry 'xlslx' with the relevant MIME Type, Application and Description into table TOADD for the ArchiveLink settings and also this entry was already in tables SDOKMIME and SDOKFEXT for KPro.
I then following the process via the Services for Object within VA12 (Change Inquiry) to then Create > Store Business document > Select the relevant Document Type > Drag and Drop the XLSX file into the empty box.
I then saved the record and tried to view the attachement but I am still getting the same message 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
Our client is on componet SAP_BASIS release 701 Support Level 0014 and Support Package SAPKB70114 and I can see that note 1237688 is for SAPKB70112?

Services for Object/store Business documents in AS01

HI
We have a requirement to enable the services for object to attach documents to Asset master. We have made configuration in Trx OAC2,OAC3 for object type BUS1022. The ICON is appearing for AS02 & AS03 but not for AS01. We are 6.0 version
How can I aactivate that for AS01. Is it SAP standard or can we activate?
Please provide me the solution.
Thanks
Sailaja Ala

Hi,
Absolutely it is not possible.
The services for object is only visible, once the original object is created.
Even if you check for normal F-02 entry also, it wont be visible during entry, but will be visible after posting if we go thru FB02 or FB03.
Any attachment can be assigned through the services for object, is possible only after creation of the dependent / original data.
So for AS02 and AS03, the dependent data has to be there in the DB, which has been created with AS01.
Thanks,
Srinu

GOS - Services for Object attachment icon

I may be posting this in the wrong forum, but my question is this. Is the Services for Object button ICON supposed to change colors or something when there is an attachment? How can you tell if there is an attachment for the object?

Thanks for the reply. This is true, what you say. But I was talking about the the Services for Object Icon. I want to know if an attachment exists without having to click on on the button. I would expect the button to change colors or something if there is an attachment.

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and <u><b>Points will be rewarded for sure.</b></u>
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction <b>SMICM,</b> "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
<u>Typical entry:</u>
icm/server_port_0         PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
<b>Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.</b>
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction <b>SICF,</b> select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction <b>SICF</b>. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction <b>STRUST</b>. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction <b>SE11</b>, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction <b>OAC0</b> to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table <b>TOAAR_C</b>, via SM31
   Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
<b>1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
    IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
    (Trxn <b>OANR).</b> Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type <b>HRICOLFOTO</b> must exist with document class JPG.
    IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
    (Table<b> TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).</b>
3. Document type <b>HRICOLFOTO</b> must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
    IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
    in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
   a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
    PREL. IMG: <b>Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
   TOAOM_C, Trxn).</b></b>
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.</b></u>
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.
